Only thing I would say is maybe do central uplift in the craters. This way you can double the number of craters. Do the same central projection, rotate it for each symbol and you will get a great variety, without them looking similar. I do that a lot with my art, re-use stuff, but transform it so it has a different look.
@Don Anderson Jr. There's a hole in the middle of the larger ones, so each of them will look different depending on where you put them. You can add a bump to any of them by putting a bevel or chameleon hill in the centre.
@Royal Scribe Yes, I think cliffs will be first tomorrow morning, unless anyone else comes up with a request I just didn't think about.
I think I have most things covered, though not specifically mangrove. There is a swamp fill, and a tropical forest fill, so you could make a mangrove using a patchwork of those two. However, unless your mangrove is the size of a county it won't really register as more than a dot on a world map.

I decided that the compass was too big for the standard 100 mile scalebar (the one above really is 500 miles at default scale), so I made another 2 to go with the smaller scale bars - removing a level of detail for each one. I hope you still like them.
I love how ProFantasy teaches me so much about geography -- the latest being the differences between mesas, buttes, and plateaus. I never took a geology class in school (the town where I lived in for middle school taught it in high school, but then I moved and the town I lived in for high school taught it in middle school). So here's my crash course!
That graphic is a useful starting place. You'd probably still have to look some things up (not really clear from the graphic how a bay differs from a gulf or a sound, for example). With butte versus mesa, for example, a butte is taller than it is wide, while a mesa, in addition to generally being bigger than a butte, is wider than it is tall. And I guess a pinnacle (not on this graphic) is more pointed at the top? But yes, that graphic is a really good starting point.
I know, if someone asked me to describe the difference between a fjord, a strait and a channel. I'd look at them with a blank expression. Hell I probably wouldn't be able to tell them why a river is different from them. Cept maybe a river has an origin from mountains or high terrain?
I finished the cliffs and did a couple of ripples to mix in with the ridges. It's all handed over now to Ralf for final preparation - complete with the usual mistakes. I always seem to realise I did something wrong after I hand it over. So when you see things not quite working the way they are supposed to on the live stream it's quite often my fault, not Ralf's ;)
This is so beautiful. I have a feeling I will be using this one a lot. Looking forward to doing a version of my Republic of Lumadair in this style (that map is about 6,000 miles wide) as well as my planet of Adnati (Earth-sized, 25,000 miles circumference). Looks like my March plans are mapped out (pun intended).

Of that list, I think cliffs would be the one I would use the most, followed maybe by ripples?

Rainbows, Noah's Ark and pink elephants.
Otherwise make sure all the biomes are covered. Plus ? mangrove regions - perhaps not - leave it up to you!

Perfection!
Agreeing with Quenten 1000%.
Crevasses? Got those in there?
Looks brilliant!
😁

Thank you, both :)
@Calibre I think I mentally included them as "ravines".
I would like to be able to create something like the Tibetan Plateau.
In any case, my preferences would be cliffs, ravines, mesas, and ripples.
Here's a quick scale bar and compass.
I decided that the compass was too big for the standard 100 mile scalebar (the one above really is 500 miles at default scale), so I made another 2 to go with the smaller scale bars - removing a level of detail for each one. I hope you still like them.
I've managed to get a few mesas, canyons and buttes together.
Those look pretty awesome.
Thank you, Don :)
Wow - supercalifragilisticexpealidosis!!!!

Will there also be cliffs?
One year, many years ago I wanted to find out exactly what a Bay was, since we have Hudson's Bay in Canada. (2nd largest)
I stumbled across this great image which lives in my main folder. I reference it a fair bit.
Whoever did this image is awesome.

OMG!
Just fantastic. Thanks so much, Ms. Sue

It's beautiful!

I hope the style lives up to expectations!
This is pretty sick. I am sure it will be a fan favourite.
Thanks Don :)
